URL to Domain Extractor
A URL to domain extractor pulls the domain name out of every URL in a list. Paste URLs, one per line, and this free tool returns the unique domains with how many times each appeared. You can remove www, add the domain: prefix for a disavow file and download the result as text or CSV.

What is a URL to domain extractor and when should you use it?
Backlink exports often list full page addresses, but many decisions are made per website. Turning a long list of URLs into a short list of domains makes it easier to review sites one by one. The extractor keeps subdomains as they are; to reduce them to the main domain, use the Subdomain to Root Domain Converter. After isolating domain names from raw URL strings, you can normalize multi-level hostnames to their registrable root with the Subdomain to Root Domain tool, and remove repeated entries using the Backlink List Deduplicator or Line Sorter and Deduplicator. If you are preparing domains for search engine disavowal, build valid directives with the Disavow File Generator, validate formatting with the Disavow File Validator, and clean rule sets using the Disavow File Cleaner. For deeper backlink investigations, assess domain risks with the Toxic Backlink Checker, examine top-level domain distributions via the Backlink TLD Distribution tool, analyze anchor patterns with the Anchor Text Distribution Analyzer, and clean raw Google exports using the Search Console Links CSV Cleaner.
